7:30 A.M. UPDATE:

There are icy conditions at Langston Place and Ainger Street SE due to water from fighting a fire this morning, according to D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services. Expect some issues in the area, and avoid it if you can.

The outer loop shoulder has reopened before the I-270 spur.

7 A.M. UPDATE:

The accident is still blocking the following blocks: the 100 block of Kennedy Street NW, 5400 block of New Hampshire Avenue (from Longfellow to Kennedy Street NW) and 5600 block of North Capitol Street NE. It's best just to avoid that area entirely, but if you are approaching the Maryland/D.C. border from either direction near this spot, you can certainly expect delays.

I-395 North is very slow approaching Seminary Road. Further south, the southbound U.S. 1 lane has reopened in Alexandria.

In Maryland, the outer loop shoulder is still blocked before the I-270 spur.

This is all right near the spots where Missouri and New Hampshire avenues intersect with North Capitol Street. Avoid the area if at all possible.

Good morning, commuters. We're in for a minor dusting this morning, followed by cold temperatures and probably not a lot of snow accumulation, according to the Capital Weather Gang. While there might not be much snow for you to see as you head into work, the roads could be slick and icy, so be mindful of that. Drive carefully and expect some delays.

There's an accident on U.S. 1 at Popkins Lane in Alexandria is blocking the left lane. A disabled vehicle on I-395 North at 14th Street Bridge is blocking the right shoulder and could cause some problems.

After the jump, we have information on snow removal as well as potential airline delays.
